0 Pi Kappa Phi is the embodiment of what a fraternity should aspire to be at Duke University. PiKapp's motto is: "We will lead" - and they undeniably follow through on that promise, with key leaders making important contributions to the university on a day to day basis. But what sets PiKapp apart is that they truly live their lives as Men of Character, Leadership, Scholarship, Service, and Sportsmanship. The new and inclusive social scene that PiKapp strives to build at Duke, the sizable leadership and service contributions that members of Pi Kappa Phi make, and the rich history of PiKapp as an on-campus fraternity since its charter in 1915 are reasons enough to assume that the group already has a dedicated section on Duke's residential campus. Unfortunately, that is not the case: since PiKapp was rechartered in the midst of the Duke lacrosse scandal, the organization has been privy to the housing moratorium for selective-living groups on Duke's campus. The addition of themed living groups this year shows that the time is now for innovation in the way residential groups are housed at Duke. Granting Pi Kappa Phi a section on campus would do just that, as the fine group of men would immediately benefit from the living experience that many other less-qualified groups already enjoy, and would be certain to continue to build the new social scene that the University so badly would like to develop as a part of the Campus Culture Initiative. PiKapp was re-chartered just 4 years ago. Imagine what the future holds... PiKapps at Duke: Duke's newest Young Trustee, Sunny Kantha, is a PiKapp. 3/6 members of last year's Duke Student Government Executive Board were members of Pi Kappa Phi. 3/5 members of this year's CC Executive Board are PiKapps. Brian Adams, the Greek Man of the Year, is a PiKapp. Graham Sharpe, the Project Build Director, is a PiKapp. The President of Campus Council, Stephen Temple, is a PiKapp. 5 of last year's line monitors were PiKapps. PiKapps play all kinds of sports, from Duke Athletics Varsity to the intramural leagues - where we won last year's Inter-Fraternity-Council Intramural Sports Award. PiKapps contribute more than 500 hours per semester in service to the Duke and Durham communities. The Duke side of the Duke-UNC Basketball Marathon is directed by PiKapp Ryan Knowles. PiKapps last semester had two columns in the Chronicle and two editors on the Chronicle staff, and Austin Boehm, a PiKapp, currently serves on the Chronicle Editorial Board. The Vice President of the Duke University Marching Band, John Roelofs, is a PiKapp. Over 15 of this year's FACs are PiKapps. PiKapp was awarded the Champion Master award from its national organization this summer for being one of the 20 best chapters in the nation (from a pool of over 200). Pi Kappa Phi is the embodiment of what a fraternity should aspire to be at Duke University.
